Tree Living

This guesthouse is one of three guesthouses on the property. It is well maintained and, most importantly, has everything you need away from home. Their staff are friendly and very accommodating. They have a butler, Charles, who is exceptional and goes out of his way to see that you are well looked after. The tableware is of high quality, gas stove for your convenience. Just a well stocked kitchen overall. There is a normal braai and a gas braai, eight seater out door dining suite with a jacuzzi for your comfort. The lounge and each bedroom have an air-conditioner, which comes in handy. I went with my fur baby, and it was enclosed and safe for him. If you have a bigger dog who scales fences, they can stay on one side of the guesthouse. There is a pecan nut orchard where I took my fur baby for a walk, which he loved. This was absolutely amazing. The bathroom links both the bedrooms, and this will be the only downside, especially if the second room is occupied with friends or family members as there are no locks on the doors. I drive a sedan, and there is a dirt road to drive on. You will have to drive slowly for just over 1km to get to the property. If you have a 4x4 or suv, this won't be a problem. The thoughtfulness that went into this guesthouse makes me believe that the owners wanted to create an experience that they themselves would appreciate, which made this an exceptional experience for us.

Although it is esthetically appealing, the opening of the roof and gutters in the passage by the door, interlinking the lounge and bedrooms, is drafty at night and exceptionally cold when going from room to room.

Mi’lady and I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation for our first. Mary (our host) welcomed us with a walkin tour of what inspired the home including tips on where to go hiking. Charles (our caretaker) was a message away and super helpful (thanks for the charger once again). The space is tranquil with a lot of natural light coming in from outside. We loved almost everything about it, especially the isolated garden. The massage topped off our stay. I could go on and on.

That we had to leave

The place was perfect, out of the hustle of the city but close enough to get to wherever you needed to be. It was peaceful, the facilities were beautiful and we wanted for nothing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something special.

There was nothing I would change.

The location was good not too far from home.
